The Home Leg-ia Can’t Get Any Wars-aw
A couple of things before we start. It would not surprise me in the slightest if we won the second leg 4-0 next week and carry on into the Play-off round. I am writing this, as a first, having only experienced last night’s game via Twitter, some of it on Radio Scotland and a […]

Celtic Squad Review: Midfielders

Celtic Squad Review: Defenders
Defenders After a shaky start (Karagandy) the defence did really well for the most part last season although the quest to break records fell short with some end of season sloppiness.
